This display cabinet made of Europeon Beech with a touch of Mahogany stands 70" tall. It is 21" deep by 21" wide. I stained the blue wave. The standards on the back are 3/4 tubing inside 1 1/4 ' solid wood. Yes there is some movement with a cabinet but that is what you get when riding a wave.

I made the piece 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" first. then I ripe an 1/8" off the wider side and kept it to cover the 3/4 steel tubing after I had used my dado head to make the groove in the 1 1/4" x 1 1/8" standard for the steel to sit in. I only needed to cove the bottom of the standard.
